Orange Peel On Doors

aspenpainting

today i sprayed out a bunch of doors and all look like glass except a side on one door. i was to close, left it heavy and it was starting to sag. i took a foam roller to it since the paint was still wet but it had already tacked up just enough to make it look like an orange peel. im assuming the fix is to sand it down tommorrow and repaint. any advice or warning?

Latex or oil?

Just scrape em with a 5 and feather out with sanding, will look ok.

I agree with this as well, unless it is a flat panel door. If it has the fake grain then sanding it will be fine.

Shouldn't be a problem, use your 5 to hit the highs and smooth it down from there.. latex normally isn't a problem to scrape on a new door.

probably won't be able to sand that quickly though. Need to let the paint cure or it will gum up.

or, use some of the green 3m latex sandpaper,,,works great and does'nt load up as fast.
